SNL, Podcast, & Social Media

In early-September 2019, Shane Gillis sprung to international fame after SNL announced his addition – alongside two other comedians – to its roster. The rest were comics Bowen Yang and Chloe Fineman.

Initially greeted by congratulatory messages, Shane received backlash for his homophobic and racist remarks. The outage against him stemmed after the resurfacing of a 2018 YouTube clip where he makes derogatory comments about Chinese people.

Excerpted from the “Matt and Shane’s Secret Podcast,” the said video went viral and later got deleted.

Following a social media outcry to fire him from SNL, Shane issued an apology via Twitter. He justified his remarks by arguing that he was merely “pushing boundaries.”

Fired From SNL

Amid widespread outrage, SNL eventually fired Shane Gillis in mid-September 2019.

Via a statement, a spokesperson for the show pointed the comic’s “impressive audition” as the sole basis for his hiring. According to the press release, nobody at SNL knew about Shane’s racist past.

Acknowledging its incompetence, SNL apologized for not doing a thorough background check on Shane.

Reacting to the news, Shane took to Twitter and lamented on what could’ve been the biggest boost to his career. Nonetheless, he thanked SNL for the opportunity.
